Romans 16:17-20 - Concluding Exhortations

¹⁷ And I beseech you, brethren, to observe narrowly them having made divisions and scandals against the teaching which ye learned; and bend away from them. ¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁹ For your obedience has come to all. Therefore I rejoice for you: and I wish you truly to be wise to good, and pure to evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace will rub together Satan under your feet swiftly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you.

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith, be manly, be strengthened.. ¹⁴ Let all things be in love.

¹⁵ And I beseech you brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they arranged themselves for service to the holy ones,) ¹⁶ That also ye be subjected to such, and to every one cooperating, and to the wearied. ¹⁷ And I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and : that they have filled up your necessity. ¹⁸ For they refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore observe ye such.
